The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 286 Lan Linzi

Qing Shu smiled, and pointed to a table next to him, "Is it okay to sit there?"

Mrs. Zhang naturally said yes, and led Qingshu over, while a young man (boy) who was busy in the shop came over first, took a white cloth towel on his shoulders, brushed the wooden stool a few times, and asked gesture, and then respectfully but not flinching back a few steps, waiting for orders.

Qingshu sits still and doesn't speak.

Xiaojuan said, "Shopkeeper, I would like to serve you all the special food in your shop." This was what Qingshu told Xiaojuan before going out, because she didn't want to reveal the fact that she was the owner of the shop in front of customers.

Mrs. Zhang agreed, walked away with the boy, quickly brought a pot of tea herself, and poured it for Qing Shu.

After a few guests had checked out and left, Qing Shu and the others had already served all the food on the table, and they were ready to eat.Whether it was the main food or the dishes, Qing Shu took a sip one by one, savoring each item slowly, wondering if the cook's skills had improved, or hadn't changed, or had declined.

After Qing Shu put down her chopsticks, Madam Zhang walked to the table, "What do you want Miss?"

Qing Shu's face showed no joy or anger, and his tone was very calm, "Is there more or less guests this month than last month?"

Mrs. Zhang replied without thinking, "Almost, no more and no less."

Qing Shu picked up the steamed stuffed bun that he had just bitten into with his chopsticks, "What's the matter with this steamed stuffed bun?"

Mrs. Zhang was stunned, "Miss, what's wrong with Baozi?" She felt a little nervous, but she felt relieved when she thought of something.

Qing Shu said, "The stuffing tastes wrong, let Master Zhang explain."

Mrs. Zhang's face turned pale, "Miss, this, this, has the taste improved or worse?" How come?how is this possible?How could the lady taste the difference?

"It's not as good as it used to be." While saying these four words, several guesses flashed through Qing Shu's mind.

Mrs. Zhang was frightened and knelt down on the ground, "Miss, please forgive me, please forgive me, everything is the fault of the slave family, and has nothing to do with the head of the slave family, please don't blame him, miss."

Qing Shu was not in a hurry to ask questions, but said calmly, "Go and get busy first, and talk about things later."

The terrified Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, and immediately agreed to get up from the ground, carefully backed away, took a rag to wipe the table, with a sad expression on her face.

Qing Shu glanced at Mrs. Zhang calmly, and unexpectedly found that the curtain separating the front hall and the back kitchen was moving. It should be that someone was peeping here just now.Qingshu took this matter to heart, asked Xiaojuan and Linglan to sit down, and ate with her.

One after another, several tables of guests came in to eat.Although Mrs. Zhang had something on her mind, she greeted the guests warmly without any mistakes.

Qing Shu and the others finished eating and put down their chopsticks.

Xiaojuan stood up, clutching the money purse in her hand, and walked to Mrs. Zhang, "Shopkeeper, how much money do you want to pay?"

Mrs. Zhang was taken aback, "Here, this..." How much does the boss have to pay for food in his shop?This is too strange!
At this moment, a man wearing a blue silk robe came into the shop.This man has small eyes, thick lips, and a flat nose. He looks about 23 or [-] years old.Don't look at this person's small eyes, they are full of shrewdness.

Seeing this man, neither Mrs. Zhang nor the two waiters showed any attitude of welcoming guests, they pursed their lips and did not move.

The small-eyed man turned a blind eye to this, and walked behind the counter in a swaggering manner, sitting on the chair specially prepared for the shopkeeper.Then, he scanned the customers in the shop, and finally fixed his eyes on Mrs. Zhang, playing with the copper coins on the counter left by the customers who had left before checking out, "How much money were collected by the customers at the tables just now, carefully report."

Xiaojuan froze, looked at Mrs. Zhang, then at the man sitting at the counter, and finally at Qingshu.

Qing Shu raised her eyebrows, why didn't she know when such a shopkeeper was hired in her shop.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang had already walked to the counter, lowered her head, and reported to the man who was not the shopkeeper but sitting on the shopkeeper's seat how much money each table's guests paid.

After listening, the small-eyed man quickly counted the copper coins on the counter, "You can go to work."

Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth and glanced in Qingshu's direction with a look of hesitation.

The small-eyed man seemed very unhappy, and frowned, "Aren't you going to do something? The boss invited you here not to make you lazy."

Mrs. Zhang turned around abruptly, and went to work with the boy.

The small-eyed man looked at Xiaojuan who was standing there holding her purse in a daze, "This girl needs to pay for her meal, please come here."

After hearing this, Xiaojuan looked in Qingshu's direction again.Seeing Qingshu nodding, she walked to the counter, "Check out."

The small-eyed man yelled loudly.

The older boy among the boys walked up reluctantly, bowed his head and said nothing.

The small-eyed man narrowed his eyes even more narrowly, "What did this girl order at that table, please report it."

The boy, Da Mao, lowered his head and reported Qing Shu's order for the table full of dishes, putting the buns and bean paste buns at the end.

The small-eyed man cocked his little finger, making calculations when the boy was making a big report.After the boy finished his report, he stopped his hands of counting beads, "Two or three hang another seventeen coins for 15."

Xiaojuan immediately widened her eyes, "What? It's more than 15 taels, how do you settle this account?"

The small-eyed man was very displeased, "Girl, although we are a small business, we also pay attention to being innocent. All the dishes you order are special delicacies in the store, and the price is already very low. The same The dishes here, not to mention Yipinlou, even ordinary restaurants cost 20 taels of silver."

Xiaojuan is not a vegetarian, she patted the counter, "Fuck your mother, this is Guji Steamed Bun Shop, its name is Gu, nothing else. When did Guji have more people like you, why didn't this girl Know? Report your name to hear."

The small-eyed man was first annoyed by Xiaojuan's behavior of slapping the counter, then surprised by Xiaojuan's blatant insulting behavior, and then aroused by Xiaojuan's questioning, "Young girl, why are you so innocent?" Upbringing! Gu Ji who is the shopkeeper and when he came here has nothing to do with you. Don’t try to renege on the debt, give the money quickly. Although Gu Ji is a small shop, the owner has a lot of background, how can you renege on the debt.”

Xiaojuan was so angry that she didn't know what to say.At this time, Ling Lan, who was sent by Qingshu, whispered to Xiaojuan.

Xiaojuan nodded, and looked at the man at the counter, "Your boss has a lot of background? Tell me, how big is it, can you still be bigger than my lady?"

The man squinted his eyes and looked at the only table with female customers, which was the table where Qing Shu was sitting.He naturally understood that the one who sat still was the master, and the two in front of the counter were just servant girls.What caught his attention was Miss Zhang's actions.At this moment, Mrs. Zhang was standing respectfully at the table, whispering something to the female guest.
